Chapter 1795: Act Like a Fool
Villain Ch 1795. Act Like a Fool
It was dizzying. Every breath he took was laced with perfume, heat, and skin.
And they weren’t rushing.
They were savoring him. Tasting him like he was some luxury chocolate they planned to ruin before the wrapper even hit the floor.
Vivian rolled her hips, slowly grinding against him, lips brushing his neck.
Jane’s hands wandered under his chestplate, tugging the last strap loose.
Bella’s fingers ghosted down his abs like she was mapping out her next playground, and Shea was already mouthing along the inside of his thigh with the focus of someone worshiping a temple—not a man.
Zoe was massaging his scalp from behind the throne, smirking whenever he made the smallest sound. And Alice?
Alice just watched. Arms folded, eyes calculating, cheeks faintly pink.
He was pretty sure she was timing them. Strategizing his destruction.
Allen tried to stay composed. Really. But he was surrounded. Seven against one. Every whisper, every stroke, every kiss was calculated seduction wrapped in genuine affection, and it was melting him from the inside out.
And then—
-DING!
The system notification rang loud and bright in the middle of Shea licking a stripe up his inner thigh.
Allen’s eye twitched. “…Seriously?”
Vivian froze. “Wait, was that…?”
Another ding.
Then the air filled with sparkles. Literal sparkles. Because the system had zero timing awareness and negative chill.
[You received Holiday High Tier Elixir 10 ea]

[Have fun! XD]
They froze.
Dead silence.
Allen was still shirtless. His pants were halfway down. Shea was close enough that her breath had just brushed the tip of him.
And now there were floating item cards.
Shea slowly turned her head and blinked up at him, strands of hair stuck to her cheek. “…Did the system just—?”
Jane’s expression went flat. “Kafra. She did that on purpose, didn’t she?”
Vivian groaned. “Oh my god. Who gives a drop like that into the climax of a moment like this?”
Shea giggled despite herself. “I mean… maybe Kafra saw what we were doing.”
Allen huffed and leaned back on the throne, rubbing his temple. “I just messed with her a little. It wasn’t serious.”
Bella smirked. “Well, she clearly didn’t get used to it.”
Alice tilted her head, thoughtful. “I caught her blushing before. When we were in Glass Maw, remember?”
Larissa raised a brow. “You mean… Kafra has a crush on Allen?”
Zoe scoffed. “Might be. Remember when she first met us? Cold. Formal. Like a corpse in a necktie. Now? Duck costume!”
Jane gave a mock pout. “Hey, spare the duck costume. That was a nice one.”
Alice snapped her fingers. “Exactly! And she wore it because Allen pulled that trick in the last war event, remember?”
Bella laughed. “Oh, yeah. Still… Kafra wore that ridiculous duck costume after. That’s not professionalism. That’s ’I think you’re hot and I’m pretending I’m not unraveling on the inside.’”
Shea curled up at Allen’s side now, one leg folded under her. “She’s been acting more cheerful lately, too. Definitely out of character.”
“Hm.” Larissa’s eyes narrowed in mock analysis. “And the only thing that makes a woman act out of character… is love.”
Vivian leaned back against Allen’s shoulder, nails lightly dragging across his collarbone. “No. Not love. It’s when she knows she shouldn’t fall for someone. But she does anyway. So she tries to hide it. Overcompensate. Act like a fool.”
There was a beat of silence. And then—
They all turned their eyes to Allen.
He blinked slowly. “What?”
Alice pointed. “So? You gonna admit she has a thing for you?”
Allen exhaled through his nose and sat up a little straighter, the embers of his restraint settling back over his skin. His voice was calm, smooth—classic Devil Emperor voice. “She might.”
The girls collectively leaned in.
“I mean,” he continued, “I caught her blush, yeah. Especially when I teased her earlier. She stuttered and yeeted us.”
Shea giggled.
“But…” Allen raised a finger, “fifty-fifty. We rarely see her. She keeps it distant. Professional. And she’s not wrong to do that.”
Allen’s voice softened a touch. “Because she’s a game staff. And I’m… well, the owner’s son.”
Zoe gave a low whistle. “Damn. When you put it like that.”
“She probably just wants to keep boundaries,” Allen said. “She knows she can’t cross them. Even if she feels something.”
Jane sighed. “Yeah… rules. Reality.”
Vivian’s smile turned lopsided. “Still didn’t stop her from cockblocking you with a loot drop.”
“God,” Allen muttered, glancing up at the still-floating reward window. “The [Have fun! XD] part feels personal.”
Shea swatted at the air like she could banish it. “We were already having fun!”
“Maybe it’s her way of flirting,” Larissa teased, resting her chin on her hand. “Interrupting at the worst moment. Classic woman-in-denial move.”
Alice rolled her eyes. “Don’t give her credit.”
Allen chuckled, the tension easing from his shoulders. “Look, if she likes me, that’s on her. But I’m not crossing that line.”
Zoe gave him a long look. “Because you respect her.”
Allen nodded. “And because I already have you seven.”
That silenced the teasing.
Because now they were all looking at him differently again.
Softer.
Maybe even a little stunned.
Vivian reached for his hand and laced their fingers together. “You’re not going to chase something forbidden… because you already have everything you want?”
“Something like that,” he said. “I’m greedy. But I’m not stupid.”
Shea grinned and kissed his shoulder. “Greedy, huh? Then let’s finish what we started.”
Jane groaned. “Right! Where were we before someone decided to crash our party with sparkles and loot?”
“Right about here,” Bella said, sliding herself into Allen’s lap again, this time with more heat in her eyes.
Larissa reached up and flicked the reward window closed with one elegant swipe. “No more interruptions.”
Alice finally cracked a smile. “Unless Kafra drops us a bed next.”
The system chimed again.
